I cook mostly roast (both beef and pork), pinto beans, stews, chicken cacciatore, and others.

I make spaghetti sauce in my roaster oven (on the slow-cooking setting). I don't own an actual Crock-Pot since the roaster oven can be used in this manner and others. I wanted the more versatile appliance.

I also make pot roast, baked beans, hot dogs for parties (just add a little water to the bottom of the pan, put in the hot dogs, and cook for a couple of hours & you are ready for the party!) and some stew/casserole type dishes.

My fave thing in the slow cooker is roast beef.
And since we are on the subject of slow cooking, any one have a recipe for scalloped potatoes? I have a seven qt. slow cooker and volunteered myself for scalloped potatoes for a party.

Coll, when is your party?

Aug 3rd. Its for a grad party, and we have electricity available to use in the pavillion

Coll, you should add that question to its own thread so that I can add it to the newsletter for next weekend. You have time for members to comment on it. I've seen some recipes, but I've never actually made it myself so I cannot vouch for how well it will turn out.

We use our crockpot for just about anything. I actually prefer meat cooked in a crockpot because it always comes out very tender.

Tonight, we are having pinto beans that will be cooked in my crockpot. Unlike most people, I use my crockpot more in the summer since the RV gets SO hot. The crockpot doesn't seem to heat up the RV like the stove and oven.
